Tyler Currie is a professional dunker and content creator from Hawthorne, California and one of the longest-running names on the Dunkademics channel, where he has been a fixture for close to a decade. He competes in Shaq's DunkMan League and stands 5'11" with a 48" vertical.
He first reached a wide audience as a teenager in 2017, when he sparked the drive-by dunk challenge, an Instagram trend built around rolling up on strangers' driveway hoops and throwing down unannounced. It spread quickly and became one of the more recognizable dunk trends of that era, which is a rare thing for a dunker to originate rather than follow.
Since then he has built a career on creativity and consistency rather than a single highlight, jumping off two feet with a right-left plant, and his signature is the Reverse 360 Windmill and turning up at sessions and contests across the Los Angeles area and beyond. His longevity on camera is unusual in a sport where most careers are short.
In the DunkMan League he competed in Group B and looked well positioned for a win before the title slipped away in a tight finish. For a dunker who has spent years in front of Billy Doran's lens, the league has been the biggest stage yet.
Dunkman League 2026. He competed in Group Stage B on July 28, in a group won by Dillan McCarthy, and finished outside the advancing places. The Dunkman League runs four group stages of six at the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta. The four group winners advance to the World Championship on August 25 along with the four highest scoring non-winners across all groups, for a field of eight and a $500,000 prize.
